Irql equal or less equal, si3112r.sys

Question:Irql equal or less equal, si3112r.sys

Hi! I'm new to this forum...

I have a problem with windows xp (sp2). When I boot up windows, a blue screen appears. which says, that I have a problem with the si3112r.sys file. I removed 512 DDR RAM, and it worked for about 6 hours, then the same blue screen appeared. I uninstalled the silicon image raid controller, and again it worked for about 6 hours. Then I tried to repair my OS, but my mouse and keyboard stoped respounding, when the install asked to aprove the install of my network card. I tried 2 times, and the same thing happend. Then I thought, that maybe my old HDD is down, the same HDD where i have my OS installed. So i formated my newer disk and installed the windows xp OS, and again after 6 hours the same thing happens, the blue screen apears and says, that I have a problem with the si3112r.sys file. Please HELP , i realy don't know, what else i can do... And excuse my english, I'm from Slovenia.....

ok, when i have been searching for some files across the internet, the blue screen of death just suddenly came up. I turned off the computer and turned it back on, but after the opening screen (with the bar and 3 green squares flowing across it) the Blue Screen comes back on. I did this like 5 times, and the blue screen keeps coming on. The computer doesn't even reach the Desktop.

I tried safe mode and that didn't work. However, the "Debugging mode" works which is how i am typing this right now.

Is there a virus in my computer?

How do i fix this?

btw I added a webcam to my computer, but I uninstalled it from the computer because it didn't work well

Answer:Irql not less or equal

Does the Blue Screens give any error codes and if so what are they? They often will give drivers as well. Give us those if you have them.

For some reason I keep getting IRQL Less Than Equal blue screens when playing games. What I understand IRQL less than equal is normally a driver issue. I have tried software to update all my drivers using programs such as Magix Drivers.

Please check my dumps attached.

Thanks,

Only one memory dump in the uploaded files - have you cleaned out the system recently?

Problem device in MSINFO32:

Answer:Help----irql not less or equal

Quotestill says 3336 for mem thoIt's normal. 32bit system, even with full 4GB of RAM installed, will only show/use 3GB+change.If you never used any AV program, and Kaspersky discovered millions of viruses, save yourself (and us) some time, and reinstall Windows.

Memory corruption probably caused by a driver. Test the memory with memtest.

Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot. Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.

I keep getting this error after I recently updated my nvidia driver. Its happened 3 times in 3 days now and I can't seem to find out why. I've tried uninstalling the new driver and reinstalling the previous one when it was working fine but it didn't help. That's when it crashed for the third time. I have attached all the dmp files from all 3 crashes. Can someone help me please?

When it crashes: Right when it gets to the 'Preparing Devices' after restarting for the first time during the Windows 8.1 installation.

What I have tried: Loading chipset drivers from the CD that came with the motherboard and installing them onto the partition during the drive selection window. I have also tried changing the BIOS selection.

I just put the computer together, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am unable to provide much more information beyond this.

Thanks,

Answer:IRQL not less or equal

This is usually down to a RAM issue or a device driver issue.

check the RAM with memtest86 and make sure all your drivers are up to date and installed

Hi about a month ago i converted to windows 10 with no problems. However since then i have had two instances of the bsod showing the above message telling of a problem. Dont know much about the inner workings of a computer so unable to give more information. Would appreciate any help.

I have a toshiba gaming laptop, Qosmio x875-q7190. It's been great for about 2 years but has lately been giving me blue screens on startup before I can login. Now If I let stay on the blue screen and just let the laptop sleep for a while, I'll open it up and it will be at the login screen as though there is no problem, using this I made the laptop access safe mode boot with networking and it works fine. I'm unsure what to do from here though, I've ran through the troubleshooting options (System restore, refresh etc) they give me errors on saying could not complete and nothing was changed. I ran through the drivers, everything seemed to be updated, and I tried to run memory diagnostic, but it also gave me an error like the other troubleshooting options. I really do love this laptop and I'm committed to getting it fixed.

We do need the actual log file (called a DMP file) as they contain the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible. We prefer at least 2 DMP files to spot trends and confirm the cause.Please follow our instructions for finding and uploading the files we need to help you fix your computer. They can be found hereIf you have any questions about the procedure please ask

If you are using Blue screen view, who crashed, or a similar application, don't. They are wrong at least as often as they are correct

we need to get you bootable so we can look over the dump files.Give a shot at this.SFC /SCANNOW : Run in Command Prompt at Boot

I keep getting BSOD reboots when using Windows 7 Ultimate 64. It is bugging me now because I just lost my progress on a game and have many a time lost progress on a photoshop file (I know I should save often but can't do it every second!)

Anyway, it reports either IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL or BAD POOL HEADER. So many places online tell me to run a registry cleaner. I do not trust this advice.

I have run cmd sfc/scan now and it reported corrupt files and that it repaired them, is that the issue?

I have also uploaded the mini dumps from the last three crashes. Not sure if they are the right ones.

Can anyone help me please?

Answer:Irql not less or equal

Could you please fill in your system specs this might help the BSOD team to solve the problem. And please follow the BSOD posting instructions.

Quite curious how old your hardware is aswell. Had a quite similar problem aswell. And recently my HDD died.

And if you want to clean ur register i would recommend you CCleaner, Its a good free register cleaner. If you want to pay for a program i would recommend you TuneUp Utilitys. Thought this program does alot more then just regestry cleaning.

Answer:IRQL is not equal to or less than

This may point to a device driver conflict first update all your drivers. If the problem still persists do the following one step at a time first check that "this is a PnP OS" is enabled in BIOS next step would be to reset bios to defaults next try clearing bios via jumper on motherboard if still no joy try flashing the bios with a flash update from your motherboard manufacturer. I fixed a customers PC last week with the same problem.

Recently started getting the BSOD again after a solid two and a half years (since I build the system). I'm getting the one in the topic title and basic googling has revealed to me that it is likely a driver issue, but I have no idea where to begin with this.

Hi

To know what is going wrong with your system, we need to collect some basic info. So please follow the below steps.

Hi!
My computer had 300 something mb's of ram, i we got another 256. I installed it, giving us a grand total of 640mb. Anyway, shortly after installing my computer began spontaneously restarting. I did some googline and turned off the automaticaly restart after sys error option. Of course the error happened again, except now I got to see the blue screen error which said something about IRQL not less or equal. Does this have something to do with the new 256mb of ram installation? Should I pull it out? THanks!

Answer:IRQL Not less or equal

Can you post the complete error message here?

To answer your own question about whether the new ram installed is causing the problem... pull it out... and see if things get better... if they get better, this means it is probably the RAM. But the error message would help everyone diagnose your problem better.

Note
These suggestions are not (I hope in regards to Driver Booster 3) related to the BSODS, they are for preventing accidental mistakes Please let me know if you have installed any driver with Driver Booster 3!

Warning
Programs that claim to update your drivers install either the wrong or corrupted drivers.If you have installed any driver with Driver Booster 3, please remove them as it may cause trouble. An easy way to get remove these drivers is by using a restore point prior the installation.

If you are using a program like Ccleaner please stop using it while troubleshooting.This because programs like Ccleaner remove dump files that are needed to troubleshoot.Or configure Ccleaner to not remove dump files:

I have been getting the Blue Screen Of Death with the message 'IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL', almost every time I quit 'Internet Explorer'. It never happens when I am not online using desktop programs and games etc. It seems to have started when I installed a broadband router via ethernet cable. I'm guessing it must be a driver or IRQ conflict, but I'm not sure. I have recently replaced the memory with new ram, but that hasn't solved it. I am about to install a wireless router to see if that can solve the problem, but I would greatly appreciate any help with this annoying problem.

Answer:IRQL Not Less Or Equal?

What file does the error reference when it does it? That's the first clue.

Hi everyone, this is my first post so I'm not that fond of the forum yet.

I keep getting BSOD Saying IRQL not Less but not equal. It only seems to be happening to my cpu when I am watching media such as YouTube. It runs for maybe five minutes then error code IRQL LESS BUT NOT EQUAL Shows up.

I've done some researching and downloaded WhoCrasehd and I got these reports:

having some serious issues with my PC. Its been working fine but now i cant go ten minutes without a blue screen crash and the words IRQL not less or equal. Ive got Windows Vista, and its a relatively new computer. I dont think ive installed any new software/hardware recently so dont know what the problem is. Im a bit of a newbie at computers so any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have checked google etc but its all too complicated and i dont get if they r having the same problems as me.

I have gotten a blue screen with the error code Irql not less or equal 2 times today and don't know what the issuse is. I've tried scanning for drivers update and windows update but hasn't helped so far. I am on WIN 10 as well.

I have been getting this bsod quite regularly IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL
it always happens when i am connecting or using some sort of internet app like yahoo/msn messenger, spotify, IExplorer but not one in perticular. I have not added any usb hardware around when i started getting the blue screens or any since.

For example my last bsod happened while explorer page/yahoo messenger/spotify were all open and i double clicked a song to play on spotify i mean i know my choice in music can be bad at times but it doesnt warrent a blue screen!

Answer:Irql Not Less Or Equal

I wouldn't trust the Ram tests, the only surefire way to check your ram is to swap out sticks.

I would first start by removing the one you bought recently, and see how it goes. If it seems ok, do the same with the other stick.

I have received these different errors since yesterday. On the blue screen:

1. A device driver has corrupted you memory pool

2. Driver IRQL no less or equal

3. NTOSKRNL.exe

The pc reboots by itself. shuts down by itself. then when I reboot the blue screen appears several times so I reboot 2 or 3 times before I can get in.

this happened after I downloaded a plugin/driver to watch hockey fights in windows media player. I tried to go to the last good known configuration, still happening, and im not sure what to do with verify.exe. Running win2k.

Answer:irql not less or equal

Do you mean "verifier.exe"?

Just run it either from start or a command line. Accept the prompts and defaults to verify non-microsoft drivers.

Be advised if it finds and disables a faulty driver you may need to reboot in Safe Mode and run:

hiwhen i start up my computer it goes on to a blue screen and i can not do anything except restart and then it goes back to it. it says "irql not less or equal to". i have tried another hard drive and that works fine. i think i may have a faulty hard drive but am not sure is there any way of clearing that hard drive?

Hey all, it looks like I've posted on the wrong place, so I'll post it here as well;

Initial post:
Greetings,

Here I am once more with a new problem. I had a good spell of 2 years or so without any problems, but alas time has come when I managed to crash my system once more.

Things you will be wondering about;

1- What exactly is the problem?
Well the problem is that whenever I start my computer, it takes 10 times more to start Windows 7 and when it starts, I constantly get Blue Death Screen message which headlines; IRQL NOT EQUAL OR LESS.

2- What did you change to cause such a problem?
Now these are all just speculations for I cannot be sure what caused the problem. My computer was working fine only an hour ago but there is more to it; About 20 hours ago I received a message from Windows 7 stating that it located a virus of sort. So I told the program to delete it, afterwards it asked me to restart but I've been busy with something so I didn't.

About an hour ago or so it said the same thing, only this time there were two virus type of things. (Btw I'm not sure if it's a virus per sa but more like backdoor, I can't recall the names) Anyhow I told it to erase them and then I again didn't restart, instead I installed a new game. When the game was installed I was like, fine then time to restart the pc.

Ta da! Blue screen, IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL. I kept the pc on just to see if this was a constant problem, as it turns out, it was indeed a constant problem. ... Read more

Answer:IRQL Not Less Or Equal

Now that I've read the posting instructions for this set of problems here is the new set of information;

? OS - Vista/ Windows 7 ? Win 7 Home Premium
? x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? 32-bit
? What was original installed OS on system? This one: Win 7 Home Premium 32 bit
? Is the OS an OEM version (came pre-installed on system) or full retail version (YOU purchased it from retailer)? It is an OEM version.
? Age of system (hardware) 1.5 years I think
? Age of OS installation - have you re-installed the OS? It wasn't reinstalled
? CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz 2.67GHz
? Video Card - ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series
? MotherBoard - FOXCONN G41MXE series
? Power Supply - brand & wattage | Can't quite open my computer or the guarantee will be removed.

Yeah if I open my computer's case, there is this little sticker and it'll go off. Once that happens the computer's guarantee is considered invalid for the manufactorer can say you opened your computer's case and damaged the said hardware.

the technical script attached to the error is (xxx stop 0x0000000A (0X0A05002D,0X00000002,0X00000000,0X8081C63C)

now most forums are suggesting bad ram or ram slots, i've tried different ram and swapping the slots around and just leaving one in etc etc.

this is my old crappy pc sp im not really bothered about recovering data, i cant even reinstall windows, when trying to reinstall windows from scratch the same error keeps coming up, i was experimenting with vista and have that on a different partition of the HDD and this boots up fine.....system is AMD sempron 512MB 80GB HDD

i just want to wipe everything (recover some music if possible, which is stored on a seperate partition to the windows installation)

any help would be apreciated, you can add me on msn if its easier to communicate.

I've been having problems with a BSOD, but I can't get the debugger in Visual Studio to read the Minidump .dmp file to find out what the problem is. I've updated my BIOS to the newest version.

It reboots itself numerous times per day, sometimes nearly as soon as it recovers from the last boot.

I've included the .dmp files to this posting.

Thank you in advance.

Answer:IRQL Not Less or Equal

Hi Meatus,

Please visit Windows Update and install every update available, it may take a couple of times to get them all.

Please remove the software of Gigabyte and Advanced SystemCare 8, these (pre-installed) software is known for causing BSOD's.

Please move some files from the D partition to increase the free space to at least 10-15%.Every partition needs at least 10-15% free space so Windows can do its thing in the background. Warning
Less free space could cause BSOD's .

Since 4 days i got a problem with my windows crashing. I get bluescreen which says IRQL_not less or euqal. It also says something about saving dumped memory in the blue screen, thats all i could figure out of it.

It just startet after I set up windows 4 days ago because of some errors and a stupid trojan which was on my pc. Formated and deleted partitions, set up new, installed all drivers, programms etc. At first everthing was fine all was working perfectly. Then suddenly 1 day later this error apeared. Well it actually seemed to have apeared after i tried to install atitools which wouldnt work. I deinstalled it, no change. Then i set up windows 7 new, i formated and deleted the old partitions. Still no change, as soon as i run either firefox or a 3D game the bluescreen sometimes apears. Set it up new again, installed all drivers everything etc. still no change.

Since i read that IRQL bluescreen is often related to drivers i installed all new that could be related. Direct x, graphics, mainboard, checked windows updates to really have the NEWEST... still i get this bluescreen.

If it's not a memory leak, (try running memtest from BIOS), It may be a conflict with the drivers you installed and the drivers windows 7 installed. Check your system information for problem devices and device manager for duplicates of the same device. I think there's a good chance you will find something there

I've looked everywhere, and have used iolo System Mechanic and cleaned my computer up, but the problem persists.

It only happens when I go to image heavy sites such as Kotaku, DeviantArt, Flickr, and sometimes Newgrounds, it also comes when I try to start Civilization V through Steam. These sites sometimes work afterwords, after a very long (<2 hours) of operation, but usually just end up sending my computer to Blue Screen hell with the error "ISQL_Not_Less_or_Equal"

Also, the file it refrences is called "netr70.sys"

Now I don't want to do anything drastic (re-format my hard drive, complete system restore, or replace my RAM or other computer parts) until I'm absolutely sure that there's no other way.

Some background information:

My computer is a Compaq Presario SR5152NX, and the only thing I've changed is my graphics card to an ATI Radeon 5750, one of my Ram sticks to a 2 GB, and my power supply.

The problem existed before I changed my ram stick, and I only changed one ram stick, I have 2 in total, one came with the computer, the other I switched for a better one.

i am getting this error and i am not sure why. it started last week when a hard drive failed, so my stepdad got me a new one. he put it into my machine and sent me home with the windows xp cd to install. so this virgin hd, i tried to install xp on it and got this irql error or a page fault in nonpaged area error. i am looking at the irql error right now and it says:

stop: 0x0000000A (0x00700015, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x80825c08)

the hd is a brand-new seagate 120gig hd, the pc itself is like an old compaq despro en. it's a p2 333. i'd tell you more about it but when i went to the compaq page to check for drivers i discovered that there are lots of models of this pc and nowhere on the case (or in the bios or anywhere else) does it say anything besides "compaq deskpro" and who knows what's been done to it since it came out in 1998 or whatever? it was working just fine for a really long time. my stepdad said the mobo might not be able to read such a large partition since the max size of partition the mobo takes is 4 gigs, so i created a 4 gig partition on which to install windows. it's totally failing.

um, yes. so...i've also tried to install 2 other os'es today, each time met with abject failure, but one was an alpha and the other one didn't dig the hot groovy usb keyboard action so i couldn't even install it. i'm back to windows and desperate to get this thing working before it ends up out the window onto some unsuspecting passer-by's head. any ...

I keep getting a BSOD and the dump says IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL I have searched and tried most things I have found. I have run memtest, RAM is fine. I did a complete format and fresh install of XP Pro. I am getting the BSOD and random crashes to desktop when I am playing BF2 Demo. System specs are in my sig. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Answer:Someone PLEASE help me (IRQL Not Less or Equal)

Usually in my experience that's been caused by a bad driver. The error message should mention a file as well? From that you might be able to infer which driver.

I keep getting this error on my fiancees computer that says DRIVER_ IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL that also comes up with a seemingly random 0x code. It happens mostly when playing Fate and just happened when running SpyBot. Any ideas? I've updated all drivers, did a RAM test. I'm thinking an HDD scan of some sort.

I had the same error with xp but i was running a less than legit operation system so i assumed that was the problem. Yesturday i installed windows 7 and im still getting this error i also replaced the graphics card before the install so that shouldn't be the issue. Here's the dump reports i have no idea what im looking at so any help would be appreciated.

when using windows 7 64 bit on a dell studio 1558 core i5 laptop i occasianlly get a blue screen with that error message. upon restart i get a windows recovered from a crash message and details the following:Problem signature:Problem Event Name: BlueScreenOS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3Locale ID: 1033

If the online privacy statement is not available, please read our privacy statement offline:C:\Windows\system32\en-US\erofflps.txtI cant seem to figure out what is causing this and how to stop it. please help. Thanks

Answer:Irql not less or equal to

I've had this prob with other versions of windows especially on newer high end systems which ended up needing a BIOS update to correct the situation however sometimes it was due to a bad memory stick..not necessarily bad but some portion that windows is trying use durring install but might normally not be accessed is hit and windows installer chokes (windows the OS has no prob with it in the end).

Try taking out all the mem chips and replacing one by one..verifying they count up on screen durring boot and display properly in bios...flash bios to latest version,...then pick just one to insert durring the install...if same..try diff single stick...also disconnect any unecessary devices like printers or add in cards, etc to reduce the possibility of some freak memory address or IRQ conflict for good measure

I recently bought a used HP Touchsmart 310 Pc with windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 from a family member and one month in the problems started. I was originally getting the bsod with the error "IRQ Not Less or Equal" every few days, and it became more frequent as time progressed. I notice it more so when watching streaming media or gaming, I could start the computer and watch hulu and it would happen just minutes after starting. This morning I booted into safemode and noticed an error in my device manager that the driver for "Consumer IR Devices" wasn't loading properly, so after several failed attempted windows repairs, finally running from the repair disk worked and the driver issue appeared to be rectified but I'm still getting the IRQL blue screen. I've looked at the event viewer and don't know much about this pc's past as I've only had it for a month or two, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I also noticed that there are only two minidump files, and it's blue screened much more than that recently. I've done a lot of reading about the error, and rather than chase down it might be this that or the other I'll ask the pros! Attached is my DM Log Collector File, thanks in advance!

Answer:IRQL Not Less or Equal

Your ATI drivers has been flagged, it's old an needs updating.

Code:
fffff880`0815b128 fffff880`03eea4ed*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for atikmpag.sys*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmpag.sys atikmpag+0x44ed

This message started coming up this morning. I have run all checks and all passed. I have XP Pro. I think it is a problem with a driver. Will reloading OS help? If I can keep it stable long enough, will reloding BIOS help?

i get random blue screens saying IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL. i will try to take a picture of it next time and if there is any further information i can provide i would be more than happy to. just wondering what could be causing this blue screen. thank you for your time.

Hi, I been trying to solve this one myself for a couple of weeks, having run memtestx86 I replaced the RAM, and the PSU noticing the fan was labouring. Aswell as did a clean install of Vista. Computer works fine in 2d desktop mode, GPU temp was running a little high, so installed EVGA Precision to bring the temp down. But the I still get BSOD while playing World of Warcraft after a few minutes, yet I have played GTA: Vice City without any problems. Old StarCraft does crash as well but only after like 20 mins of play.
(no I'm not blaming Blizzard on this lol) Anyway I'm attaching my reports hopefully you guys can help me figure out what needs replacing or just re-configuring. (fingers crossed for the latter)
Vista Home Pre x86 32bit
Mobo: asrock n68c-s ucc
Video: BFG Nvidia GeForce 9800GT
Sound: Soundbalster X-Fi
RAM: 2x2 GB of Kingston ddr2 667

Also is there any software you could recommend checking the integrity of the Video RAM or Processor? And would give a report even if it does cause another BSOD.

Answer:Irql not less or equal

Usually, this kind of problem is caused by GPU and/or CPU overheating. You could download HWMonitor or any of the other monitoring software and check it while you're playing.

When you get a BSOD, down at the bottom above where the countdown is going on, it usually states the faulting problem. Do you know what it says?

I'm asking because it's a lot of work going through all the log files.

hey guys, been having a problem for a while now, i been getting the irql not less or equal and i don't no why its doing it, i recently upgraded my old pc , its specs r- q9550 oc 3.5ghz, gigabyte hd 7870, i have 2 different types of ram though, 2 2gb kings tons 400mhz and 2 1gb ocz 333mhz and its all ddr2, motherboard is P5Q, 1tb Samsung hd and win 7 64 bit. i run numerous test like IBT and P95 and both ram and CPU pass, but i seem to get this bsod error whenever , so Anny help would be greatly appreciated , cheers

Note
These suggestions are not (I hope in regards to Driver Booster 3) related to the BSODS, they are for preventing accidental mistakes Please let me know if you have installed any driver with Driver Booster 3!

Warning
Programs that claim to update your drivers install either the wrong or corrupted drivers.If you have installed any driver with Driver Booster 3, please remove them as it may cause trouble. An easy way to get remove these drivers is by using a restore point prior the installation.

If you are using a program like Ccleaner please stop using it while troubleshooting.This because programs like Ccleaner remove dump files that are needed to troubleshoot.Or configure Ccleaner to not remove dump files:

I am getting a blue screen with the error message driver IRQL not less or equal, and a dumping of the physical memory. My antivirus is detecting something from the CDAUDIO driver and calling it a trojan. I think the problem started when I used a CD-ROM recently that has copyrighted info on it. The only other recent hardware or software was the installation of a printer but this worked fine for a while so I don't it has anything to do with that.

Sorry about my last thread, I didn't realise that SP2 was unsupported. I fixed it by upgrading to SP3 anyway xD

So since I 'fixed' my problem with ndis.sys that was stopping my wireless adapter from working (by upgrading to sp3, as i said), I've been getting an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Bluescreen. The hex values are:

0x0000000A (0x0000019C, 0x0000001C, 0x00000000, 0x804FFA14)

I can run fine in Safe Mode, all my drivers check out normally, the debug program I got from Microsoft's website didn't work and the minidumps are all crypted. If anyone has an idea, that's greatly appreciated ^^

hi this is my firat post and its because my useless pc is blue screening ive recently had the BSOD five times in the space of 3 hours with 2 or 3 diff warning msgs one was IRQL not less or Equal and another was Dxgmms1.sys a dump file was created but i dont know how to find them on my computer or how to upload them so i can get help in finding out whats wrong i recently changed my graphics card and ram because i thought one of those might be the problem but i still get the BSOD probably even more frequently now P.S ive also changed my windows from XP to Vista to Win 7 with no effect.

I know it's a bit of a pain but it's about the only way we can get any crash specific information off your system over the internet.

i would like to apologise as i know this has been posted before,but i'm very new to computers and do not completely understand the answers given.
i get this error doing normal activities, and i get a blue screen with this the above error.
i have read some of the answers here but do not completely understand the answers here
i have read it could be a hard drive has gone bad?
i was walked through a chkdsk /r scan but i'm not sure if it helped or not, do i need to do another one? is there something i can do after that?
also i should mention that i have 2 hard drives, and i'm running windows 7.

Everytime the software: PrinterDemo, fails to print the .txt file i send to the printer, the application locks up and i have to restart my laptop and while restarting the system gives me the bsod error.

I dont think a mini dump is even being created as if i remember right when its dumping memory, a little % indicator is shown at the bottom of the bsod, but all i immediately see is: Memory dump complete.

Some details about my laptop/hardware:

Apple MacBook - 80GB Windows Partition

O'Neil Printer: Serial-USB Connector to allow me to use it as my mac doesnt have a serial port.

Driver for printer is updated and configured correctly, and the printer works most of the time, but there is just the odd occasion where it doesnt, and im afraid its going to, at one point turn into a serious issue.

i have been having random BSOD ever since i bought the laptop like 5 months ago with various causes with the most frequent cause being irql less or equal i wanna know how permanently solve it

Answer:how to fix irql less or equal

Hello @Davidpierson? There are many causes for this sort of error. You could spend a lot of time going back and forth troubleshooting this by searching the Windows logs and having someone go over them for you until you finally find a solution. Only to end up having to reset the PC back to factory half the time anyway. So I would just restore the laptop back to Factory Settings now and be done with it.HP PCs - Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 10) | HP® Customer Support Back up any files you need first.Then after reinstalling Windows, only update Windows, do not install other programs for a while. Run the laptop to see how it goes.One by one add any other programs. Do not install more than one Anti virus program. Personally I only use Windows Defender, nothing else. If after a reset its still blue screening, you need to contact HP Support for a warranty issue.Contact HP Worldwide | HP® Official Site Does this help? Let me know.

Answer:IRQL not less or equal

This blue screen can be a number of things. It could be a driver conflict, or could be a bad piece of hardware. Being that it isn't something that you can replicate by doing a specific thing, the test that I have to see if it is a driver is a bit hard. If you want to give it a shot though, boot the system into safe mode and run as you normally would. If you don't get the blue screen then chances are it is a driver conflict in which you would need to go through drivers one by one, uninstalling and reinstalling until the issue stops. The other option would be doing a fresh install from scratch.

If you still get the blue screen in safe mode, it could be a hardware problem. If you haven't already, run a memory test like memtest86 (can be downloaded from memtest.org) right after you get one of these blue screens. If you fail, then I would take a look at the RAM.

Ok.. Heres the story... When i was watching anime using my laptop... the laptop went overheated ,and then after restart i got the message that said that there is a corrupted file, please run chkdsk ultilies. I ignore it a bit and try to go on youtube and watch anime... But i cant watch the anime because the video screen is all white... Ive try different website and it still the same...Then i thought that there is gotta be something to do with that corrupted file .Then i ran the chkdsk thingy... after it finished, rebooted and then this IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL appear after the WindowXP loading screen and the chkdsk... Ive tried to reinstalled the window using the CD but it still appear. Oh yeah the Safe Mode doesnt work... it just freeze there... My RAM is 192mb

Code that i got after i cancel the Window XP screen load and chkdsk:
0x0000000A (0x0A230021, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804EB5CF)

In the Cd it give me those option:
.Press ENTER to set up Windows XP.
.To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.
.To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.

Place your MemTest CD in your CD-Drive and then boot-up (turn on) your Laptop. MemTest shoudl automatically begin. This test takes a long time and should run for 10 Passes; you'll see this on your screen.

hello. i've been having this bsod since i upgraded my pc. i put in a new power supply recently but did not solve the issue. i ran 9 passes of memtest with no errors. i've updated everything that i seen that was out of date.

If Driver Verifier flags a 3rd party driver, it will BSOD your system immediately, so be sure to save any work very frequently. A VERIFIER_ENABLED memory dump will [hopefully] contain the name of the offending 3rd party driver, if the BSODs are being caused by a software problem.

If no 3rd party driver is named, we then know the cause of the VERIFIER_ENABLED BSOD is "unknown hardware failure".

Because I just spent an hour typing my post and then my computer crashed forcing me to retype it, I'm going to make this short.My computer started getting BSODs about a month ago, most of them saying IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL, but a lot others, the most recent one is "encountered an uncorrected hardware error", I am not very good with computers, but I've searched the web and none of the fixes seem to work for me.I've restored my computer to factory condition hoping it would solve the problem, but after doing that 3 times, it did not, the problem presists, I have no clue what caused it, it's not a virus I know that for a fact.The crashes happen randomly sometimes after 9 hours of using the computer, sometimes after 15 seconds. Most of the time I get BSOD and Stop Screens on start up, while trying to run System Restore and Start Up Repair.I'm hoping someone can, at the very least, tell me what is causing the BSOD, because I also get "Driver IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL" I'm guessing it's a diver on my computer.But the only driver I personally installed is my Linksys wirelessN Adapter, and I installed it about 2-3 years ago, when I first got the computer. I've already cleaned the computer of all dust to make sure that wasn't the problem.Any help will be much appreciated.

I keep getting a blue screen error randomly which tells me my computer is being shut down. It started a couple weeks ago. I've had to restore my computer to a restore point a few times because of the error. It says this:

Hi...Well il get right to it. for about a week now, my computer has been going to a blue screen with the message "Driver irql not less or equal" This happens at any time, but mostly when the computer is starting up, there seems to be about a 90% chance it will go to this blue screen and i'll have to shut down and leave it for about 10-15 mins before il have any luck of geting it to load. Once im on the computer, it can be quite stable for a while and then a simple thing like opening word or even a folder will cause it to crash.I have tried to fix this without help, i updated all my drivers, downloaded a program that would tell me if any needed updated and it now says none of them do, i then searched the problam on google and found a few websites with 9 or more pages of people claiming the same problem as my own, yet in all of those no fix seemed to be offerd...So i thought id try here.

so i get the blue screen error, and i believe its caused by the driver on my "Netgear FA311 Fast ethernet adapter" which is a VERY old network card. the onboard ethernet connection stopped working for some reason, i put the E-cord in and the little box blinks just as it should, but my comp says its unconnected....

the fast ethernet adapter card is so old that i can't find newer drivers for it than drivers from 2002, theres a few programs that tell me i can't download things normally because of an driver problem on the network adapter, and...its so old it can't be updated anymore....i've looked

how do i make the onboard ethernet connection work again? what drivers would i look for? i'm assuming motherboard drivers? but is that chipset? or ***?

i'm only relativly familiar with this stuff... and when i try to download programs or do a lot at the same time the comp crashes to that same driver IRQL crap. its taking me liek a week to download an 18GB program (World of Warcraft if you're curious).

also, i'm told (from a questionable source) that letting it do the "memory dump" isn't good, to turn off your comp manually with the power button ASAP...true or not true? i figured it was true, because dumping memory doesnt sound...pleasant.

I've had this problem for a while now and i can't seem to sort it out admittedlly because my pc knowledge is basic at best so i would welcome any help on the matter.

Basiclly i keep getting a BSOD and it saying IRQL is less than equal, and i don't know how to solve it. Because device manager says all my drivers are up to date as is windows. so any help would make me a happy bunny.

At random times in the last few months, my computer has crashed.
A blue screen comes up with the error message: IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL, and it shuts itself down then restarts.

When I've checked the event logs, an error relating to the Ricoh XD Picture Card Driver has come up.
It says "the device cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."

I am really confused about this as when I've looked in the device manager, I cannot see this driver listed at all.

I am using a Toshiba Equim L40 10U, with Intel Celeron Processor M and 1 GB RAM.
The computer is roughly 8 months old, and previously, I didn't have any problems with it at all.

Just wondering if anyone knows how I can rectify the problem at home, if that is possible.

Answer:Equim L40-10U: IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

Hello

On Toshiba support page I have checked all offered drivers for your notebook model. There is also listed Ricoh Flash Media Driver. Try to install this driver again. Maybe the problem will be solved.

I need your help. I tried to no avail to solve this recurring bsod myself.
I've even replaced my Ram as a last resort but this didn't help either.

Please tell me what info you need.

I can tell you the problem only occurs while I'm running two or more instances of flash or playing video games.

I have no money to get myself a new computer yet so I just need to fix this problem to get through another couple of months. I've had this problem for maybe over a year...

at random times usally relating to the wifi adaptor i get an IRQL LESS OR NOT EQUAL error

Answer:IRQL less or not equal error help!!!

It's a driver issue. Make sure you have the latest possible driver from your wireless card's manufacturer. If possible, try to find out what chipset that wireless card is using; you might be able to find newer drivers that are more reliable and resolve those problems with the so-called "reference" drivers for most wireless cards.

Atheros, Broadcom, Intel... those are the 3 big ones for wireless card chipsets now - meaning the chips on the card are probably made by one of those 3 companies even if the card says D-Link, Linksys, Netgear, etc on it.

Intel makes their own chipsets and the cards too so they are pretty easy to spot since it'll say Intel all over the wireless card - they only make mini-PCI cards that mount inside laptops anyway.

Hope this helps...

psIf you have a QX6700 as you say in your sig, it's a Core 2 Quad, not a Core 2 Duo.

Haven't bothered asking for help yet, since I've only been getting them around 3-5 times a month since I built this set up back in April, but this month has just been insane.

I've tried everything I can think of, used memtest84+ for around 4 hours, no errors, Redid my 480 drivers around 4 times, also tried the new beta drivers, I used Driver sweeper each time in safe mode, used Driver Genius Pro to updated random drivers that I might have overlooked, did the System Check, nothing helped.

I'm running this PC 24/7 and it never, only at a few very rare occasions, bluescreens while idle, it usually bluescreens when I game or have multiple things open, especially Firefox, which originally left me to believe it was my ram, but I guess not, but yea I know, memtest was only running for 4 hours and it could not show up at all even, even if it might be a bad stick.

Often it doesn't even bluescreen while I game, it's really random, some days it doesn't even bluescreen at all, yet on some I get them in chains, quickly after the other. This month was terrible, in 10 days I've gotten 20+ BSoD, the only thing that changed was the heat, but my system is cooled very well and temps never go above 70 under load, I've been monitoring.

Gonna attach a bunch of recent dumps, in hope that someone figures this nightmare out. One last thing, the 480 was added in March, used a BFG 8800 GTX OC2 before that.

Thanks in advance!

Answer:IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL - Getting worse

It appears that this is a hardware problem.27 memory dumps - from 26 Apr to 11 Jul 2010 (3? months)6 different STOP error codes, blaming 7 different causes

Driver Verifier has been running since 04 Jul 2010 - please turn it off by selecting "Delete existing settings" in the first screen.

Also, please remove or update these older drivers that were loaded at the time of the crash. Don't use Windows Update or the Update drivers function of Device Manager. Please use the following instructions to locate the most currently available drivers to replace the one's that you uninstall OR remove:

How To Find Drivers:- I have listed links to most of the drivers in the code box below. Please use the links there to see what info I've found about those drivers.- search Google for the name of the driver- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

Hello thank you for helping me.I am getting mostly this error but also a few others like unexpected kernel mode trap mostly when I play Dota 2 but it did happen sometimes from youtube but not really anymore I think.

I have so far tried unsuccesfully reformatting, it worked for around a month, but now not at all. Ran memory diagnostics and says everything is normal. Ran sfc/ scannow and no problems. Updated all of my drivers. Ran malwarebytes 0 infections. Lenovo solution center says all hardware works properly. Windows is up to date.

? OS - Vista/ Windows 7 ? Windows 7
? x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64
? What was original installed OS on system? windows 7
? Is the OS an OEM version (came pre-installed on system) or full retail version (YOU purchased it from retailer)?
Basically an alien-ware that came installed with the os. It had a faulty hard disk which they replaced and i had to reinstall using the cd they gave me.
? Age of system (hardware) around 2 years
? Age of OS installation - have you re-installed the OS? 2 years and maybe a year on the age.
? CPU Intel core I7
? Video Card : Nivida geforce GT555M
? MotherBoard
? Power Supply - brand & wattage

I really dont know for the mother board and power supply but its an alienware m14x which i have not changed save for the hard disk that they replaced.

Yesterday i was downloading a torrent and browsing google when suddenly this Blue screen happened. I included a picture in the zip file of the blue screen it self. I updated every driver i can + windows update. I ran the device verifier that said called out smart defrag + demon tools which I removed both. It still has the same blue screen happening randomly. My sister about a month ago said the laptop shut down randomly and it might have been a blue screen but I ignored it since it really didnt happen to me at all.

I really dont know what else I can do..

Answer:BSOD, IRQL less than or equal.

Just to clarify , device verifier stopped giving a blue screen for demon tools and smart defrag. The IRQL is still happening , it's either fast or takes a while to happen.
